Had a brief check-in with the dentist. She was very pleased with how I'm healing. Next week, I have four more extractions.
Which will leave me with about eight teeth. sigh. I understand the need to minimize trauma, and how allowing healing now will reduce the need for relining later, but damnit, I want my teeth!
We confirmed that I'm getting both upper and lowers, and that due to my God-like gag reflex (I'd be a terrible gay dude) I'll be getting a partial bridge for the uppers. This means I'll need to do some research on dental adhesives and the like.
Lower impressions next week. Gak.
I also told them (and will repeat next week that I need to have appointments at 1630 or later. Just too much stress involved in trying to get back and out the door at work in time to catch a train, make a tricky bus connection, and get there in time.
